People pursue their own interests, whatever those interests might be. Some people have interests that are narrow and selfish, while others have interests that are broad and altruistic. The idea that people are self-interested underpins all of economic analysis and raises two fundamental questions: 1. How do people choose the actions they think will further their own interests? 2. Can the potentially conflicting interests of different people be made to 'mesh' in some sort of socio-economic equilibrium? This book is devoted to a detailed study of the first question. Its Companion Volume (Economy-Wide Microeconomics: Equilibrium, Optimality, Applications and Tests) makes a detailed study of the second question.

 

Following some foundational remarks, this book studies the Arrow-Debreu theory of consumer choice. That theory supposes people choose so as to maximize a complete, continuous, transitive, and reflexive binary preference relation over a non-empty and compact choice set. The book then studies numerous refinements, generalizations and extensions of each of these restrictions - up to and including recent work on Behavioral theories of choice and choice behaviour when preferences are intransitive/incomplete/discontinuous. Also considered is choice behaviour in environments that are not necessarily compact. A study is also made of intertemporal choice and choice under uncertainty. The study of Arrow-Debreu choice theory and its extensions are presented from the Primal, Dual, and Revealed Preference points of view.

 

Consumers are not the only agents in the economy, as Producers are present as well. Beginning with a study of the Arrow-Debreu idea that producers choose from a convex production set so as to maximize profit, the book considers extensions and generalizations of this framework, particularly to non-convex environments. The study is presented from the Primal and Dual points of view.

 

The final chapter in the book provides a link to its Companion Volume. The Chapter indicates how the theories of consumer and producer choice studied here help inform answers of the second question posed above.

Good, but minor issues
The build quality seemed impressive and it felt sturdy. When installed, it definitely stayed in the air vent without wiggling or coming loose after quite a bit of off roading and driving over washboards. I returned this thing and bought the "off roam" competitor because of two reasons: 1) the ball joints don't tighten down hard enough to lock the position of the mount firmly. It grips well when you don't touch it, but if you are trying to put the phone into the mount without both hands, it shifts and moves with minimal pressure. Kind of annoying for me, I feel the ball joints should tighten enough not to budge if given a tiny bit of force or accidental bump. 2) the inner springs of the phone holder started loosening and making an obnoxious vibrating/rattling sound after about a month. Any bump or minor rough surface caused this thing to rattle like loose change in a cup holder IF THE PHONE WASNT IN IT. If the phone was in the holder it didn't do this at all. It started to drive me crazy. If you can get past these two things it's built well enough and works perfectly fine. I just expect a bit more for $50-$60.
